Words Linger Blog

See what I did there?

This blog is crammed full of Wordslinger musings. Some of this connects with my fiction, some of it connects with my podcasts, and some of it just connects with life as I know it. So I hope you enjoy what you read, I hope you get something out of it, and I hope you carry a piece of it with you as you go out in the world. If you like it, let me know about it. And thanks for reading.

I got into the 30-day free trial, and was so disappointed with the user experience I was out less than 30 minutes later.

I had an amazing time talking to Lorna Faith on her 'Create a Story You Love' podcast. We talk about my writing career, about my process of writing a book in 30 days, and of course all about Draft2Digital. If you're an author, or ever wanted to be, this is a great look behind the scenes!

Read up on Sylar—a vehicle maintenance Blue Collar who ends up being in over his head when he lies about his love life. This is a Citadel story, so if you haven't read the books you may find yourself with a new addiction soon. I'm just sayin'.

Her father taught her all he could about keeping things going, but without him there it's just a matter of time before Chauna can't keep up. Now, a new threat emerges, and Chauna has to remember everything she's learned. It's time to rethink risk.

We put a lot of pressure on our passions. We demand they pay for our lives. And sometimes, when we're lucky or blessed, the work we love to do ends up being the same work that pays our bills. But sometimes, all that pressure takes the joy out of the thing we love doing.

That's where Megan finds herself. And it's from that dark and lonely place that someone reaches out to her. And Megan's life will never be the same.

Alex doesn't know why or how, but every day he wakes up in a new reality. Every time he goes to sleep, the world changes around him, and nothing he did before has any impact on where he finds himself.

What would you do, if every day you woke up with a clean slate?

What is an oak door filled with Celtic runes doing in the mountains near Egypt?

Dan Kotler has no idea. But he's going to risk everything to find out.

There are a lot of alternatives for every choice we make. The path we ultimately choose had a lot of side trails. What if you could see those, and pick the potentials you wanted to follow? How would you choose the true path?

From bad days to complete train wrecks, life sometimes throws everything at you at once. And on those days, doing anything productive seems impossible, and being positive about your life seems like a waste of time. So what do you do to get past that? I'm asking for a friend.

Coming to Ontario from Houston was an experience very different than what I had expected. The clichés I'd grown up with weren't quite as noticeable, and didn't mean as much.

All in all, this place felt more like home than I had expected. Which is weird, eh?

Seriously, I can't make up characters half as interesting as those I meet in real life.

Covernotes, in Newmarket, ON, made sure I had plenty of new characters to create with later.

Bless 'em, every one.

When you're in another country, you sort of expect it will feel different. You look for those things that tell you plainly that you're not at home.

Sometimes, though, things just feel so familiar that it's like you never left.

Ontario and Houston aren't so different from each other.

Who knew?
